Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica)
A tall evergreen tree native to Japan, widely used in construction and forestry. Also a common source of pollen allergies in Japan.
杉 (Japanese cedar or cryptomeria) is one of the most common trees in Japan and is extensively used in construction due to its straight grain and durability.
Cultural note
杉花粉症 (cedar pollen allergy) affects millions of Japanese people every spring. The extensive planting of 杉 after WWII for forestry has made this a significant public health issue.
